I had found a cute pattern online for them so I made them for a few of the "little ones" in my life (including my wee bitty neice who found it entertaining but could only be trusted with it for a few seconds befor she put it in her mouth and attempted to swallow it).

I wanted to make some for Christmas, so I made my own little patterns/templates for these guys:

These aren't finished in that picture; I still had to stitch the gloves on the snowmen, and then sew the "ornaments" on the christmas trees:

I sent a few of them out with my christmas cards that were going to families with little ones. They're lots of fun to make, and not too labor intensive. Once Jesse told me the snowman looked like a boxer with his gloves on, because of the gloves & the way his arms are positioned, that's what I saw every time I looked at them and it made me laugh.

The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.

"I believe in the sun even when it isn't shining, I believe in love even when I don't feel it, & I believe in God even when he is silent."

it's all about:

Just as you may now think, with some amusement, about prior civilizations who thought your earth was flat, there will be others, in the not too distant future, who will reel in disbelief that there was ever a time when abundance wasn't seen as spiritual, where a dream's manifestation wasn't considered inevitable, and that there were multitudes who knew so little of their importance, their power, and of how deeply they were loved.
